Dan Adkins cvr; 1st app. of the Cobalt Man and Candy Southern; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI)Cobalt Man is the villain of the month in issue #31 of the X-Men, Ralph Roberts, a scientist and athlete who attends college with Jean Grey injures his head in an event, and later, while showing off his Cobalt Man uniform, goes mad, heading on a rampage of destruction that draws the attention of the X-Men who are currently visiting Marvel Girl at her school. Roberts' jealousy and hatred of Tony Stark are part of the elements that factor into his break from reality, once subdued the crazed student reverts back to his old self. This is not the first time the X-Men and Avengers have shared a storyline, and it would not be the last, since Marvel let it be known there is an MCU project in the works featuring a battle between the two superteams, any issue that crosses over the heroes should be on investors' radar. Art by Werner Roth and John Tartaglione.
Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
